AI Detects Gallbladder Cancer As Accurately As Radiologists In India: Study

Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with a poor detection and a high mortality rate.
An artificial intelligence (AI) based approach demonstrated diagnostic performance comparable to experienced radiologists in detecting gallbladder cancer at a hospital in Chandigarh, according to a study published in The Lancet Regional Health – Southeast Asia journal.
Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with a poor detection and a high mortality rate. Early diagnosis is challenging because benign gallbladder lesions can have similar imaging features, the researchers said.
The team at Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) in Chandigarh and Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), New Delhi, aimed to develop and validate a deep learning (DL) model for GBC detection using abdominal ultrasound and compare its performance with radiologists.
